Welcome fellow Journeyers, this is Craig coming from Costa Mesa CA.

Who am I? You might ask your self this question, but who did GOD use throughout our history of mankind.

I often ask myself this very question.

I’m in my 50s and often ask myself, how is God going to use me?

We all need to to let GOD to be GOD .

He wants to use, who he wants to use, for GODS calling, not ours!.

If a shepherd boy can become a king, and in between be called by GOD, to slay a giant, in the bible story of David and the giant warrior.

How may he choose to use you and me?

We as Christians never know who is to be chosen, like a man of GOD, that was waiting in the desert for a great flood, who turned out to be one the bibles best example of faith,and CARRYING OUT WHAT GOD TOLD HIM TO DO, WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS, BY FAITH IN GOD, NEXT TO THE APOSTLE PAUL, AND ANOTHER MAN OF GOD, IN HIS 80S, MOSES CALLED TO LEAD THE JEWS, THAT WERE SLAVES UNDER A TERRIBLE RULER.

WHO AM I, AND WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?

WITH GODS HELP ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, ONLY TIME CAN TELL, BY LEANING ON GOD AND HIS PROMISES.

Philippians 1:6 ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION OF THE BIBLE
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Welcome fellow Journeyers, this is Craig coming from Costa Mesa CA.

All of our Journeys are Important and they let us discover all of our talents, PASSIONS, SKILLS AND DREAMS that GOD HAS GIVEN US, AND WHAT OUT PURPOSE IS HERE ON EARTH.

I WANT TO SHARE MINE, SO YOU CAN DEVELOP YOURS, AND MAKE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.

BECAUSE WHEN WE DISCOVER WHAT OUR PURPOSE IS, AND WHAT PLAN GOD HAS FOR OUR LIVES. THAT IS WHEN EVERY MOMENT OF OF LIVES BECOMES AN EXCITING ADVENTURE, AND EVERY DAY WE CANNOT WAIT FOR A NEW DAY TO BEGIN.

MY PASSIONS ARE, WORKING WITH CHILDREN, EXPRESSING MY SELF THROUGH MY ART, AND MY LOVE OF ALL ANIMALS, AND WRITING THIS BLOG, WHITCH IS VERY COOL, AND INSPIRING, BECAUSE ITS SOMETHING I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER DO.

THINK BIG, DREAM BIG, AND WITH GODS HELP, YOUR DREAMS AND TALENTS WILL COME TRUE.

THIS IS STATED IN THE BIBLE.

PHILIPPIANS 4:13

13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.

Welcome fellow Journeyers, this is Craig coming from Costa Mesa CA.

We all have to remember, including my self, Craig, that GODS LOVE IS SO IMPORTANT.

So the act of true love, that we all as people should all be doing.

Is defined in the bible,in the love chapter .

1st COR. 13: 1:13

1 The Way of Love If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

It does not mean we will be able to live it 24/7, but its a great goal.that we should all try to do. But we can not do it on our own, without the help of the father, son, and holy spirit, guiding us.

Welcome fellow Journeyers, this is Craig coming from Costa Mesa CA.

Even though we just had veterans day on Monday 11/12/2007, last Monday. We need to keep our military in our prayers, as Christians, and people all the time, through the year. Not just 1 day a year. So on the day that our president has set aside for veterans day, let’s honor these brave Americans, that in some cases have given up their lives, or have been physically challenged by wounds or injuries, that they suffered by defending our country against invaders or terrorists around the world.

You might not agree with the WAR IN IRAQ, but Nov. 12th last Monday, was veterans day. So many a good man and woman, were driven by God to serve our great country, for GOD AND COUNTRY. And whether you are a believer or not, try to do something that will show these brave men and women we care, by going up to them and shaking their hands, and saying, “Thank you for defending our freedom, and helping protect our great country.”  Pray for for our military leaders, and our president, every day, but pray for them all year long.

JOHN 15:13

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
We have our freedom, because they are willing to give up their lives for us.

Welcome fellow Journeyers, this is Craig coming from Costa Mesa CA. Something that GOD PUT INTO MY HEART, so I wrote a poem, inspired by the word of God. God was the author, I am the messenger. This is what I want to share with the world.

We never know how a kind word or deed can affect a person’s life.

They might be going through a lot of strife.

Life is not always easy, there is always a lot for us to bear.

Thats when we need to know there is someone who cares.

Jesus himself wants to show his love to you and me.

Thats why he was willing to hang from that tree.

So the next time you see a person in need, remember Jesus’ words.

MATTHEW 25:35:40 SAID ( from king james version)

35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

SO IF YOU OR ME WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE HAVE TO BE WILLING TO BUILD A LOVING A.R.K.,WITH STANDS FOR ACTS OF RANDOM KINDNESS EVERYDAY.

Welcome fellow Journeyers, this is Craig coming from Costa mesa CA. I have been a Christian since High School, but just recently I returned to church and feel God is speaking to me. We all have to search our hearts and find our purpose to SERVE GOD. We all have talents and skills that we can use to GLORIFY GOD. In this Blog I want to share my Journey, but I want to hear about yours. HOW IS GOD WORKING IN YOUR LIFE? Tell me about yourself. Do you have pets, any hobbies or interests? I have a pet cat named MEOW and I will share things about him in the future.

I all so want you to be able to be honest, and maybe you’re not walking with GOD right now. Always remember GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS a PLAN FOR ALL OUR LIVES.

I Craig have life struggles, as a CHRISTIAN, but GOD IS FAITHFUL.

The BIBLE VERSE I want to share with you sums up in part, what I think my walk in Christ is supposed to be about.

It’s HEBREWS 10:22-25

22 Let us draw draw near to GOD with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

24 And let us consider how we may spur one and another on toward Love and good deeds.

25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one and another and all the more as you see the day approaching.

Well that is enough for now.

This is Patricia. I am one of the team at Damascus Road.

I live in New Zealand. I belong to the Siloam Community Church at Taipa on beautiful Doubtless Bay in the Far North of the North Island. I was baptized in the ocean there on 8 October 2006 and at some point I will tell my Damascus Road story.

It’s about three quarters of an hour’s journey to church for me, but it’s worth it because we have an awesome worship team who lead us in some wonderful praise singing, and a great pastor Lynley Watson.

As I was driving to church a couple of weeks ago the start of a poem came into my mind and I gradually finished it over the next couple of days. I want to share it with you - it is very simple and child-like, but didn’t Jesus say we must come as little children?

Dear Lord:

“Seek Ye First the Kingdom”
Your words are in my heart.
I need you with me, Father
As I strive to do my part.

Be with me as I waken
To greet Your bright new day.
Please help me to remember
That there’s always time to pray.

Be with me as I journey
To bring you words of thanks and praise.
Be with me ’cause I’ll love you
Till the end of all my days.

Be with me when I stumble -
Guide my footsteps with Your Light.
Protect me from the darkness
In the forests of the night.

Blessings,

Patricia
